Pro or cons?

after the news of 'bring your own bags for shopping which starts on 18apr' was released ytd night, i recieve so many comments both good and bad.
quite a lot of pple feedback to me abt this. HELLO? Neither am I the manager nor a director of NTUC for goodness sake! so why bother to feedback? haha. lots of pple complained abt this 'exercise.'
so from those many many AUNTIES esp, there are some of the complains or rather what they feel as cons of this coming exercise.
-troublesome.
-not much of use.
-have to spend more money! (as in the customer themselves cos they either have to buy the recycle bags or donate. )
dots right. i mean, cant they just think of the environment which ultimately will affect us or/and their future generation. as everyone knows, plastic bags cant be recycled! it is non-biodegradable! so help save the environment! play a part by buying and using the recycle bags which come in 3 colours and cost abt only a dollar each? why get so upset abt this movement? its not NTUC fault anyway. the donations from each plastic bags dont go back to us anyway! so why keep saying as though it is NTUC that is trying to EARN their so call hard earn money when they are wasting the resources! they can ask for big plastic bag when they just buy a small item or they will ask for them when they just buy newspaper which is price ranges from 70 cents to 85 cents? WHY? I dont get it! why do they need to keep the newspaper in such a good condition when ultimately it will be either be sold to the rag and bone man or use for other purposes? We do have to respect stuff which people have spent hours working hard to produce. but still, since u can sell it to the rag and bone man and earn that extra cash while doing something good ( as it seems like u are helping to recycle), why cant you just help do another tiny part by not asking for PLASTIC BAGS when u dont have the need for it? only to throw rubbish? i guess thats what pple take so many plastic bags for anyway.
but I guess there are pple who are concern abt helping to protect the environment, since it do affect all living beings. so I am glad there are pple who told me that this exercise is quite good as it helps to protect the environment. I do feel good abt hearing these types of comments. i mean, it is rather postive right? even though i heard 1 aunt saying that NTUC is still gaining regardless if the customers bring their own bags anot. sighs. I am sad to say that, I dislike this comment. having just work in NTUC for just merely more than 2 months, I am feeling attatched to this place which a team of pple worked very hard just to get the products being displayed and be sold to the customers. and still after working so hard, we didnt get any praises but complains and attitudes. Are we worker not human too? we are just earning a living. we try to please you and all we get are complains and nothing more. though some of the customers are really nice and thankful to us. (which i think only 1% of the population?) I am really sad to say all these but, i think singaporeans are too wasteful. They take things for granted and often blame the others for the things that they have done wrong.
really hope singaporeans will not be so wasteful. help play a part by helping to protect the earth which all of us are living in. (:
hopefully when the exercise is launch, i dont have to give attitude to customers which i really dont want to. As it takes 2 people to make this shopping trip a pleasent one. (It takes 2 hands to clap not 1.)
guess i shall stop my post here. getting really tired and restless.
shall enjoy my off day. (:
